Gold futures have pulled back sharply from January 2026 highs near $5,589 per ounce to settle around $4,524 for the May contract as of mid-May, reflecting profit-taking and some easing in immediate geopolitical tensions after the earlier surge. Persistent central-bank purchases, elevated inflation readings near 3.8 percent, and ongoing diversification away from the U.S. dollar continue to underpin prices, while institutional forecasts from J.P. Morgan and others target averages near $5,000 by year-end 2026. Traders are now watching the next FOMC meeting, upcoming CPI releases, and any shifts in Treasury yields or the DXY index for clues on near-term momentum through June.

For CME Gold (GC) futures contracts, the Active Month is the nearest of CME's designated delivery-cycle months (February, April, June, August, October, December) that is not the spot month. The Active Month changes automatically on the contract's First Position Date, at which point the next eligible contract month becomes the Active Month.
Only the Active Month's official settlement price published by CME Group will be considered. Intraday trades, highs, lows, bids, offers, midpoint values, or indicative prices do not count.
Note that the settlement price may differ from the last traded price. CME's methodology to determine the settlement price can vary by commodity and contract.
Only days on which CME publishes an official settlement price for the Active Month will be included. Days without settlement prices (weekends, holidays, or market closures) are ignored.
This market will resolve based on the settlement price as it appears on the CME settlement page at the time it is first published for that trading day, regardless of any later corrections or updates.
The resolution source for this market is the CME Group website — specifically, the daily "Settlement" price for the Active Month of Gold (GC) futures.
